How the hell does making a stencil mean youre ripping off Banksy??? Stencils were around for a very long time and Banksy is just one of the best known names in the street art scene. Besides, he even supports "stealing" (read: imitating) other artist's style.
Dont get me wrong, I love Banksy's artwork. But I also love his philosophy, which states that art (especially street art) should be free for everyone. No copyrights, no profit. So I think "ripping off" his style for a public service cause is pretty much ace.
I like the idea. The (stencil's) execution is not that amazing, but the background story makes up for it.
who cares? ima play some tunes instead http://www.mixcloud.com/hoozn/
Stealing is just wrong. Especially if you're a cop. Go Banksy!
Don't be ridiculous. As another commenter pointed out, these are actual stories. And even if they were not, this is so not worth one pathetic star.

I read on another blog that these street murals are actually based on real policing stories, placed near the area where it actually happened.
So, within that context (which clearly hasn't been explained well enough), it's got a lot more punch to it.
Bloody good idea, just the same.

Which is cool since he ripped off other peoples work just the same. And really, who cares?
4 stars.
Using a style of an artist to advertise something is allowed.Every body does it, don't worry.. But using an artist who devoted his career to spit on cops to advertise police,... is more than stupid. It means u don't understand the artist u have used, to create this...

my friend Bansky carries a message wich is like" f...k police. and someone is using for advertising a police.
my friend Banksy carries a message which is like "fuck the police because they are just bothering people by executing ridiculous laws instead of helping people in need" so yeah, i think in this case police =/= police
at the same time, hes like "fuck copyrights and steal whatever you want because i dont care" so stop whining about rip-offs and a fucking non-profit campaign.

You should read more about Banksy's philosophy, much of which revolves around anti-advertising (and anti-police) sentiments.
